Follow on Google News | New Research Begs a Different Approach to Motivation in the WorkplaceThe Ken Blanchard Companies®, makes the science of motivation a learnable skill.
Coauthors Susan Fowler, Dr. David Facer, and Dr. Drea Zigarmi created the Optimal Motivation experience for leaders at all levels of an organization. The process empowers individuals to approach everyday tasks, goals, and situations with vigor, optimism, and creativity; and to sustain high levels of performance. "The value of the latest science of motivation is that it is finally helping us understand the spectrum of motivation in human beings," shares Fowler. "Motivation can now be treated as a vital skill individuals can develop to further enrich the quality of their day-to-day experience at work, and also continually grow so they can enjoy fulfilling careers. It is also a skill managers can learn to enhance the work environment so that individuals find it much easier to innovate and perform at consistently high levels. Those dual outcomes are the intentions of this new approach to motivation," Optimal Motivation teaches individuals about the appraisal process we all experience at work, meeting the three basic psychological needs—Autonomy, Relatedness, and Competence—and the skills to reach a high quality of self-regulation. In turn, this process creates the ability to identify and choose a desired motivational experience. The program reveals a spectrum of motivation that alleviates the overly simplistic notion of intrinsic versus extrinsic motivation. It relieves the pressure of believing there is only one way to experience optimal motivation. "Organizations do not have to wait for the traditional methods to be uprooted before taking advantage of the latest research," says Zigarmi. “The advantage is not just for the sake of the organization but to create personal energy, vitality, and a positive sense of well-being.” Learn more about Optimal Motivation at: http://www.kenblanchard.com/ More on The Ken Blanchard Companies Blanchard® programs, which are based on the beliefs that people are the key to accomplishing strategic objectives and driving business results, develop excellence in leadership, teams, customer loyalty, change management, and performance improvement.
